MR.. FLOURNOY

said he was not surprised at the statement
of Mr.. Snyder. He knew if the truth es-
capped from that side Ol the chamber it was
more likely to come from the honest repre-
sentative of Monongalia than from some of
the other gentlemen who were making so
much noise on this subject and saying so
little. Mr.. Snyder he said, let out what
he (Floumoy) supposed all along was the
object of the other side on this
question, that it was to draw political
line on which they could claim the benefit
where it was to their interest to claim it
and where it was not to their interest to
claim it then to stand on the Republican
convention platform.

Dear Shiny attention has been

"1he legal positions advanced in
that communication lave already been
covered by the published statement
which / addressed to you, and any one

advanced on behalf OF the accused to
avoid an investigation into the facts.
However, the object Of thi, letter

definite and practical point. 70 effect
this purpose have addressed letter
to the grand jury, now in session, re-
.questing that the matter be at once ex-

This action, which trust viii be
agreeable to You, places the offence be-
You'd all power Of private settlement
and sets at rest all cavil on this score.
1.-The interest OF the bondholders
under this trust is to compel restora-

people is TO punish the crime Of mis-
appropriating and withholding trust
property.
1.-THE statutes on this subject pro-
vide concurrent remedy for the at
tainment Of both objects through the
grand jury. The entire matter is now
placed in its hands, and no private in
